Rails - Dec 2005 - printing/logging during tests

Hi all,


I''m trying to output some info to see what''s happening in a
controller
during functional tests.
Problem: ''print'' only works in the test code, but not in the
production
code that''s being called by the tests.

Example:

In FooControllerTest:

    def test_list
      print "1: starting"               <<----- WORKS FINE
      get :list
    end


In FooController

    def list
        print "2: inside"     		<<----- DOESN''T WORK
        logger.error "2: inside too"     <<-----
DOESN''T WORK : nothing
reached test.log
        ...
    end



Any idea?

Hmm, strange that you''re not seeing anything inside of test.log.  An  
alternative that I use for this sort of thing is STDERR <<, e.g.:

STDERR << "2: inside\n"

Oups. it was not the case actually: I hadn''t noticed a
''before_filter''
that prevented the spyed - *1 - code from being executed

Thanks for your patience

*1: I''m at war with bad code, so I can spy as much as I want.
